All around the world people are preparing for Christmas and who knows what other kinds of holiday traditions. Decorations are going up and people are shopping for their friends and family. We’re so excited to see the looks on their faces when they open up the gifts, aren’t we? Yeah, for sure! But if you’re a student you’re also really stressed.
As soon as December comes around we’re scrambling to get essays done, study for exams, all the while not go insane. It’s a strange sensation really, to be excited for Christmas but to dread December. I wonder if Christmas will ever feel like it did when I was a child, and I didn’t have to worry about essays and exams.
As a child my greatest concern had nothing to do with school, but everything to do with what would have my name on it beneath the Christmas tree. I remember December being a time of snow ball fights and making angels in the snow. That and Christmas specials on TV at the neighbour’s house every night. But I guess that’s why they’re called memories right! Eventually this time of year will be different for us students. Will stress ever become a memory? Who knows?
Either way, I wish you all the best this December.
